What You Should Look For In A Leader

April 4, 2016

For teams to function at their best they require excellent leaders, but what are the elements that set apart a good leader from a great one? Some leaders are excellent but there are management professionals in every industry and company who strive to be exemplary.

Beyond the Boardroom aims to help your company pave a pathway to excellence by offering effective team building in Sydney that supports high performance and leadership.

What defines Leadership

To be a successful and effective leader, they naturally possess traits, qualities and attributes that bode well for management of teams. But, many leaders actively try to develop these leadership skills and conduct themselves in a way that sets them above their peers so a successful business can be directed and adapted to individual’s skills, strengths and weaknesses.

Leadership can have all or a combination of the following qualities/attributes:

• Empathy – showing care and concern for fellow employees and their feelings• Optimism – having inspiring and motivating words and actions• Honesty – displaying truthful information and integrity in work dealings• Focus – being organised and thinking strategically• Accountability – taking responsibility for performance, including their own• Decisiveness – providing reassurance in times of uncertainty and recognising if a problem can be solved alone or by joint effort

Leadership is crucial to an effective team and Beyond the Boardroom recognise that there are ample opportunities to support this via corporate training activities.

How Beyond the Boardroom can make your corporate team building in Sydney a success

Team building is one piece in a complex puzzle for your company success. By helping your employees to communicate better this can then filter from employees to customers. Beyond the Boardroom facilitate team building in Sydney and all other Australian state capitals with activities varying in duration and group size (we can also customise a team building program for your specific needs and budget).

One of our most successful activities is the Amazing Race, loosely based on the hit TV series. Sydney Amazing Race includes courses in various locations in the city and surrounds including The Rocks, Cockle Bay or Parramatta and the concept involves participants going through staffed checkpoints and completing challenges.

This fun activity is superb for team bonding and highlights who is a great leader at motivating their team to do their best and it is rounded out by photos of all the action and an awards ceremony.
